nouveau-tea drank Get Smart by DAVIDsTEA

82 tasting notes

This tea is very light in flavour; I mostly pick up raspberry, black currants, and light notes of green tea. The green tea taste is extraordinarily smooth with no astringency whatsoever. I can definitely understand why people have said it tastes vaguely medicinal. The stevia taste is definitely present but it doesn’t bug me too much. I find that the first few sips I enjoy, but after that it becomes a bit of a chore to drink a full mug of this one. We’ll see how sipping down my sizeable stash of this blend goes.

Flavors: Black Currant, Raspberry

Preparation

185 °F / 85 °C 3 min, 45 sec

Bio

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember — my mom used to have “tea time” with me every afternoon, drinking some Twinings Earl Grey with milk and sugar in my grandmother’s antique tea cups. Before I went to university, I worked at a DAVIDsTEA in my hometown, which solidified the obsession.

I’m in my first year of law school, after completing an undergraduate degree in political science and anthropology. I use she/her pronouns, and I’m vegetarian (not quite vegan — I still drink blends that contain milk-based ingredients). My other hobbies include fragrance, crocheting, journalling, skiing, hiking, and reading sci-fi and fantasy novels.

LIKES
Apple, peppermint, caramel, vanilla, coconut, jasmine tea, malty black teas, sweet blackberry leaves, guayusa, white tea, peach, strawberry, raspberry leaves, Chinese teas, anything smooth and creamy!!! Highly caffeinated blends have my heart.

DISLIKES
Ginger, cinnamon, peppercorns, hibiscus, alcoholic notes, stevia. I prefer teas that don’t contain dairy or artificial flavouring.
